Pay and get penalized

A dear friend of mine who was on a holiday here sometime ago had an interesting story. He said to me, "Its quite funny here. First of all, files don't move and Babus won't work. Politicians won't listen without a price. If you pay the price as demanded, you go to jail. If you don't pay, you suffer. If you pay, you go to jail too."
Is Dr Manmohan Singh listening ? After all, it was he liberalized the economy under P V Narasimha Rao in 1991 and in 2011  -- within 20 years, the price tag has a jail tag too.
